The Selection Series by Kiera Cass

I absolutely adored this series.

Is it just me, or do you ever feel so overwhelmed with feelings that you just have to stop reading the book and just meditate on the words that you have read and let them sink in for a little bit. I had to do this when I finished The Elite and I had to wait a WHOLE YEAR for the next book to come out.

The wait was truly agonizing but the whole series turned out positively amazingly and it is, in my opinion, the most perfect romance novel. It is my go to series when I need a pick me and a happy ending. It gives me that warm, snuggling feeling a hug gives you. I honestly fell in love with Maxon, it was love at first sentence. I shipped America and Maxon from the start. He truly cared for her and gave her everything she asked which was not very much. I felt his sincerity and genuine feelings from the beginning.

However, I also understood why some people found Maxon difficult to fall in love with from the beginning. He has been put in a situation where he must pick a wife out of 35 woman and because of that he has spread his eggs between them all. It's completely understandable why America feels jealous and can't express her feelings for him straight away. It is the only way Maxon is able to pick a wife since he cannot leave the palace. Also, due to the fact that America just had her heart broken right before she went by Aspen. Someone who she had already planned her whole life with and was willing to give up everything for him. When she is first arrives, she is trying to heal her broken heart. Really makes you feel sorry for America, she views it as a way to get away from the situation and heal.

Every girl who has been chosen is there for one reason: to marry Prince Maxon. (Who on earth doesn't want to marry a Prince? Come on, don't deny it. We have all had that fantasy and wondered what it would be like to be Kate Middleton. I would love for Prince Maxon to be real and get the chance to wed him.) Anyway, I am totally digressing. America is there so she can heal and give money to her family which is paid from the Palace. You find out that the girls there want different things from Maxon and will fight to get him and what they want. But also, America develops friendships with the girls there, something she didn't expect.

Obviously, there were some trials along the way. Love isn't always that simple, especially when you are put in the kind of situation America was in. She is battling jealously and indecisiveness towards her feelings for Maxon and her feelings for Aspen. Her feelings for Aspen are still lingering in the background and because of that, they hold her back from what she truly wants and that is Maxon. Maxon is well aware of her previous heartbreak and is so kind, gentle and patient with America and never pushes her into anything she doesn't want to do. He is a true gentleman and loved her from the beginning.

I feel this book has everything you could ask for, from unbelievable romance to making your heart pound and sitting on the edge of your seat, biting your nails desperate to know more. It has me gripped from start to finish.

This series claimed my heart, my soul and my mind and it led me along with every line. it was absolutely breathtaking and I could not put it down. I could read this series over and over again and not get bored. I felt that it captured the true essence of love. That yes you might have disagreements within your relationship but never forget to show love to the closest person in your life. As long you continue to show love to one another everything will be alright.

Thank you all for reading and supporting me,
